What in the world just happened on stage to make the audience do that?

I stopped by the theatre the other night and snuck into the show.  This is what I experienced.  Get your tickets now and join the fun!  www.ncstage.org

Company of Book Club Play talks about their favorite book.

I took a few minutes to chat with the company of The Book Club Play to see what their favorite book is and why.  I found it fascinating to hear the answers!  As Ana says in The Book Club Play, "It will be a window into your soul!"

Tonight's opening night! Again!

So, one of our actors in Stalking The Bogeyman has had to take a leave of absence to perform in an international story telling festival.  Fortunately for us, we have Michael MacCauley to fill in for the week!  I asked Michael what it was like to go into a show that's already been performing for 2 weeks.  His opening night is tonight.  Check out this short video!

You can see Michael in Stalking The Bogeyman this week Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 2.

What do ice cream and the Tony's have in common?

Why, NC Stage, of course!

NC Stage received news of two very cool honors this month, and we couldn't be more tickled. 

We are honored to be one of 10 theatres in the entire country to receive a National Theatre Company grant from American Theatre Wing, the founder of the Tony Awards. This prestigious grant is awarded to non-profit regional theatres that  "have articulated a distinctive mission, cultivated an audience, and nurtured a community of artists in ways that strengthen the quality, diversity, and dynamism of American theatre."

This month we are also a recipient of the Flavor of the Month from our friends over at Ultimate Ice Cream. “To Be or NUT to Be” is a caramel ice cream with walnuts and chocolate chips. The best part? Proceeds from To Be or Nut to Be benefit NC Stage’s education programs. Ultimate Ice Cream supports local non-profits through its Flavor of the Month program, proving that they are as generous as they are delicious. 

Both of these honors really mean a lot to us. We are deeply rooted in our local community, and we strive to present the best, most exciting theatre we can. We believe Western NC deserves to see the same kind of stellar theatre enjoyed by folks in places like Chicago, DC, or New York.

 So go buy a scoop of "To Be or NUT to Be" and enjoy your local professional theatre!
